What's better than Lebron James taking his talents to South Beach? Gillian Flynn taking her talents to television.

The author of Gone Girl, Sharp Objects and Dark Placeswill develop a series for HBO with David Fincher, who's also directing the Gone Girl movie.

The show, called Utopia and adapted from a U.K. series, sounds pitch-perfect for Flynn: iI's about a group of graphic-novel superfans who find out that their beloved author has written a sequel—but the quest to hunt it down quickly turns into a sinister adventure of its own.

The British version seems to boast several meaty roles for young actors and actresses—so, Rooney Mara, if you're looking to make that small-screen jump, now would be the time.
